December Blur

It seems that December has been a blur . . . we've been so busy, and I haven't posted anything.  Here's a quick catch up on all that we've been up to.

Ethan had his December Christmas Choir program at church:

We had a nice visit with our friends, the Cox family, Chris, Victoria, Charis, Ilana, and Tova, who are missionaries in Cambodia, and were home in the states visiting.  Their girls and our boys hadn't seen each other in 2 years, and seemed to pick up right where they left off having a great time together!

The last week of school before Christmas break was filled with fun class parties for Caleb and Ethan.  Mama Brisken got to attend both parties along with Mommy and Mama Bailey got to attend Caleb's party.  They boys were happy to have us there to help them celebrate in their classrooms!

We snapped a few Christmas pictures for our Christmas yearly website and cards.  You can view our whole greeting at www.freewebs.com/brisken

 The boys came up with putting McDonald's Happy Meal boxes on their heads as hats/masks and it was the only picture that they were both really smiling in simultaneously, so we had to use it!  :-)

The first part of Christmas break has been fun at home for the boys.  They've enjoyed unlimited play time together, watching movies, playing with toys, playing outside, decorating cut-out cookies with Mama Bailey, and playing Star Wars Monopoly with Daddy, among many other things.
